LISA: Well, it used to be true, but it isnt true anymore. People often have toast and cereal, jam, yoghurt, things like that, but not many have time to cook bacon and eggs. Its only in hotels when you get bacon and eggs what we called a cooked breakfast or an English breakfast. Slide 6 I: Michael, youve had the opportunity to taste some of the more unusual dishes from around the world. Can you tell us something about them, and in particular what they taste like? M: Yes, well, Ive just come back from Thailand and in the winter, sackloads of grasshoppers and locust are brought into Bangkok from the countryside because the Thais love them.
